Bergamot and plum open the scent with a citrus-edged fruitiness — the bergamot lends lift and the plum contributes a dark, almost jammy weight beneath it.

By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and plum open the scent with a citrus-edged fruitiness — the bergamot lends lift and the plum contributes a dark, almost jammy weight beneath it. The contrast is immediate.
Oud dominates the heart, bringing a dry, smoky wood character that deepens everything around it. This is not a soft or approachable oud accord — cypriol amplifies the smoky, earthy edge, keeping the composition grounded in dry resinous territory.
Tonka bean and sandalwood in the base soften the rough edges somewhat, adding a creamy warmth against the darker oud-cypriol core. The result is a compact, smoke-forward composition with fruity contrast — best suited to cool evenings.
